At least at the larger schools I haven't had a problem recruiting outside the initial Top 10. What I will generally do is put a "feeler" out there by making a scholarship offer. If the scholarship offer jumps me into the top 10 then there is a good shot to land them. In these instances I imagine I was probably somewhere in the 11 to 20 range on their initial list and the scholarship offer pushed me into the top 10. You can sort of check this by gauging their interest in you on the Prospect Database screen against the other colleges that are displayed in the Top 10.

If I remain outside of the recruit's top 10 after the initial scholarship offer there is really very little chance to land them. Typically I will just drop these players and look for another recruit.
